ORIGIN

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was sold new on November 18, 1986 at Overseas Motors of Fort Meyers, Florida and now shows just under 45k miles. The car spent much of its life in Minnesota and was brought to Arizona in January 2005 by its long-term third owner. It was relocated to Michigan in 2016, where it has reportedly been stored in a climate-controlled garage and driven approximately 300 miles by the seller. This example is finished in Light Ivory over Palomino leather and was ordered with a dark brown soft top and body-color hardtop. Power is supplied by a 5.6-liter M117 V8 linked to a 4-speed automatic transmission, and the timing chain and tensioner were replaced in April 2015. This R107 is now being offered for sale with the original window sticker, factory books and manuals, a stamped service booklet through 1992, records beginning in 1999, a car cover, a hardtop cover and stand, a clean Carfax, and a clear Michigan title in the seller’s name.

Sheet metal wears a Light Ivory (623) finish on this example, and the car retains its US-spec lights, bumpers, and trim. The seller notes some paint chips along with a small gap in the pin striping. No accidents are shown on the included Carfax report.

Factory 15” alloy wheels wear Mercedes center caps and Yokohama tires. Further images of the dark brown soft top and photos of the matching hardtop are provided in the gallery. A rack and cover for the hardtop are included in the sale.

Manually-adjustable bucket seats are trimmed in Palomino leather and are complimented by matching velour carpeting. Burlwood trim accents the dash and center stack, and options include cruise control, automatic climate control, central locking, power windows, and a Becker cassette stereo. The clock is reportedly not functional, and 45k miles are indicated on the odometer.

The 5.6-liter M117 V8 produced 227 horsepower at 4,750 rpm and 287 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Service records beginning in 1999 include receipts from a timing chain and tensioner replacement in April 2015 and a new battery in January 2015, as well as a power steering flush and new sway bar bushings and subframe, engine, and transmission mounts in March 2014. The transmission was serviced approximately 3k miles ago in March 2009, and the water pump was replaced in April 2007. An oil change and inspection will be performed for the sale.

An original window sticker lists standard features, confirms the factory colors, and shows an MSRP of $56,600. A clean Carfax is viewable in the gallery below along with the original manuals, a warranty certificate, a tool roll, and the first aid kit.
